Metal–Organic Cages: Applications in Organic Reactions

Supramolecular metal–organic cages, a class of molecular containers formed via coordination-driven self-assembly, have attracted sustained attention for their applications in catalysis, due to structural aesthetics and unique properties. Their inherent confined cavity is considered be analogous the binding pocket enzymes, facile tunability building blocks offers diverse platform enzyme mimics promote organic reactions. This minireview covers recent progress supramolecular coordination cages boosting reactions as reaction vessels or catalysts. The developments utilizations accelerating reactions, improving selectivity are summarized. In addition, successes tandem cascade promoted by discussed.
